The desktop and everything is weirdly pixelated and colours have gone wrong, and icons are bigger than normal. I've gone into display settings in control panel but i don't seem to be abloe to change anything back to how it once was. Any ideas? Maybe i should run system restore? I am a complete numpty about techie things so any help appreciated!

    Thanks. After i posted this everything froze so i switched off then on again, stabbed at F7 and F8 cos I couldn't remember how to get into safe mode, and everything came up as normal again. So things seem to be running ok for now. Very confusing!
